This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to grow within the construction and real estate development industry.

Proper oversight, training, and guidance will be provided throughout the process.

Qualifications

• Basic understanding of construction drawings and plans
• Strong communication and follow-up skills
• Basic to intermediate Excel skills
• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines

Requirements

• Hungry to learn and grow within the construction/development field
• Organized and reliable
• Comfortable communicating with subcontractors and consultants
• Able to work through large amounts of information and keep things organized

Training & Oversight
